just chatter being encouraged by the basement Pod Casters who need/want clicks. Who knows what will happen with the Restraint of Trade case against penalties for leaving a Conference. It could go like the one where employers can no longer penalize someone for leaving, or they could say this is different situation and the penalties are fine. I really find it extraordinary that FSU’s lawyers didn’t pursue this path. It seems like the only legitimate chance to beat the GOR.

So you still think the GOR was breakable?? -- PadrosWindup Jan 31, 2025 at 09:29 PM ET

PadrosWindup • 01/31/25 09:29 PM ET
